Company.

Passed Mar 13,1829

WHEREAS a navigable canal, connecting the city of An-
napolis with the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, either through
the District of Columbia, or by any other route which may
be selected by the company hereinafter incorporated, to be
fed through its course by all such streams of water or ri-
vers, or by the waters of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, if
in the opinion of the president, directors and stockholders
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, after exami-
nation, it will not injure or impede the navigation of said
canal, as may be beneficially drawn thereto by feeders,
dams, or in any other practicable mode, will be a work of
great profit and advantage to the people of this state, and of
the Union, by opening a more direct and expeditious com-
munication between the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and
the Chesapeake Bay, than the circuitous and difficult navi-
gation of the Potomac river; therefore,
